CHICAGO -- The National Automatic Merchandising Association has announced that its expanded office beverage exposition, Coffee Tea & Water 2011, will be held at Bally's Resort in Las Vegas from Oct. 18 through 20.

"The name change, Coffee Tea & Water, is a much better reflection of the key business segments of our NAMA members today," said Roger Stewart, NAMA's director - coffee and water service. "What hasn't changed is the focus on the operators, providing about 25% more appropriate education sessions this year to help them achieve success and profitability."

Rooms reserved for NAMA registrants are in Bally's newly renovated north towers, and the room rate is unchanged from last year: $79 per night.

The program for the 2011 event is under development; details will be posted at namacoffeeservice.org as they are finalized.
